Legion 5 Pro Gen 6 AMD (16”) with RTX 3070

An architecture firm purchased these notebooks with Mendoza Studio's recommendation for use with such programs as Revit and AutoCAD and requested to be set up with all their applications and peripherals. The firm saved 500$ per notebook with Mendoza Studio’s help.

From installing applications, the positives:

  • Fast CPU AMD Ryzen 5800H

  • RTX 3070 8Gb great for GPU rendering

  • 32GB DDR4 memory - plenty for multi-use applications

  • 1TB NVME storage - plenty for local storage and install apps quickly

  • Display 16” WQXGA 2560X1600 to see more content + matte screen to minimize reflection

  • Camera switch to disable for privacy
